Not including leaking connectors at the conductor plate. Simple to fix. Just don't let it go.
Interesting stuff. To add on to Shertex...

...are you aware how many cars had those issues? 20%? 10%?

...did the 722.6 in the refresh resolve those issues and can a pre-facelift tranny be replaced by a post-facelift tranny?
